Townhome Ordinance Version I i July 26,2001 Page 4 . Water Management Plan,water bodies and slopes steeper than three to one (3:1) slope ratio. The following lot areas per unit standards shall determine the maximum development density: Two Family Dwellings,Three Family Dwellings,Four Family Dwellings, Quadraminuims,Town homes:Five thousand(5,000)square feet per unit. v. Open Space Requirements In addition to the park dedication requirements stipulated by the City's Subdivision Ordinance,a minimum of ten(10)percent of the gross development project area shall be in useable open space and recreational use for the project residents. Such areas shall be specifically designed for both the active and passive use by the exercise equipment, saunas,etc. Said areas and facilities shall be private,except in those cases where the City agrees to assume responsibility for all or a portion of the recreational space. In those cases where private ownership in maintained,the land and facilities shall be subject to the requirement of common areas as detailed in Section 11-58-19 of this Title. The concern we have is that, if we can't use non-developed areas for figuring the density, how can the City reasonably ask for open space for that area?For example, is the useable lot area considered part of the • open space? E. Building Design and Construction Standards: i. Unit Width: The minimum width of a dwelling unit within the R3 District shall be twenty-eight (28) feet. ii. Unit Construction: a. Building elevations and floor plans shall be furnished with subdivision requests illustrating exterior building material and colors to demonstrate compliance with of this Title. Building floor plans shall identify the interior storage space within each unit. b. Buildings shall be designed to prevent the appearance of straight,unbroken lines in their horizontal and vertical surface. Their shall be no more than two(2)continuous townhouse dwelling units without a break in the horizontal and vertical elevations of at least three (3) feet. Rather than 3 feet we are recommending 30 inches (this would be consistent with the construction trade). Also, is it possible to have the soffit line be unbroken, but change the roof pitch at different 1111 locations?
